“If there’s one thing every aspiring script writer knows, it’s that the best way to learn their craft is to watch endless films and shows. While formal education and training is a huge part of learning how to create good concepts and scripts, there’s nothing that quite compares to seeing the way that some programs work perfectly – while others don’t – for yourself.

Breaking down your favourite shows to see how they work under the skin will give you valuable understanding of the creative processes and is the best way to find out how to create good shows.”
